2. HOW DOES SMOOTHSKIN PURE FIT WORK
SmoothSkin Pure Fit is designed to help break the cycle of hair growth. Light energy is transferred
through the skin's surface and is absorbed by melanin present in the hair shaft. The absorbed light
energy is converted to heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which disables the hair follicle.
Treated hairs naturally fall out over the course of a few days to 1-2 weeks.
Hair growth is cyclical and follows 3 distinct and consecutive phases. IPL treatment is only effective
when hairs are in a particular phase (the Anagen – growth phase). Not all hairs are in the same
phase at any one time. This is why you should follow the recommended treatment regimen of 12
weekly treatments.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Immediately post treatment, you should not see any significant side effects from treatment (Refer to
section 4 for more information on side effects).
In the first few weeks following the initial treatments, you will still see some hairs growing. These are
likely to be hairs that were missed during treatment i.e. they were lying dormant and not in their growth
phase (Anagen) during treatment; when IPL is most effective.
Around 6 weeks into the 12 week treatment programme you should see a reduction in hair growth.
However, many hairs may still not have been treated in their growth phase. It is important to continue
the weekly treatments.
After the 12 week programme, you should see a significant reduction in hairs within the treated area.
Any remaining hairs should be finer and lighter in colour. Continued monthly treatments, or treatments
as required, should maintain the reduction in unwanted hair.
